Peace

I’ve had a good sleep. Sleep solves everything. This last month hasn’t been the easiest and it’s really affected my rest - I’ve had real problems sleeping. I’m at home now though, and for the first time in weeks I feel like i’m relaxing. I’m so excited to be home. My Mum is hilarious, regaling me with really bad jokes and tales of the Ukranian weather girl next door (a whole other post needed for that) and Dad and my brother are just brilliant. Santa was also very good to me, giving me lots of lovely stuff, including loads of books, which will keep me busy.

Home also means free internet. Woo woo! I’ve gone itunes crazy. Current fave is Sia’s live album, Lady Croissant. Sia Furler is this beautiful Australian singer - she’s done stuff for Zero 7 and an ace song called Taken for Granted a couple of years ago. I love her. Australia has great female singers - another one I love is Missy Higgins. Actually, I think they are both from Melbourne. Aah, Melbourne rocks. I want to go back to Melbourne.

Anyway, Christmas is good. Christmas is peaceful, despite Mum, my best friend and I singing carols really loudly (and probably out of tune) on Christmas morning. But the people in front turned round to thanks us for our efforts, and that’s what Christmas is, isn’t it? Giving rather than recieiving (even if the gift is terrible singing…)
